- BY KEITH FALKINER

IRISH football fans are already being warned not to overstay their welcome if they travel to the World Cup in the US next year.

The Boys In Green will be hoping to qualify for a first World Cup since 2002 when they compete against Portugal, Hungary and Armenia later this year.

If they were to achieve that feat, a huge Green Army of tens of thousands of fans would be expected to descend on the US, Canada and Mexico, with all three countries hosting the event.
